Sissi update

She slept in her crate just fine last night, from 10 pm until 6 am. We went on a short walk this morning, Keiko with Sissi and me with Yuli. She is really easy to walk on the leash with Yuli in the lead. I was able to walk both of them last night while Keiko walked Lily - Sissi and Yuli side by side, something Yuli and Lily could never do.

Sissi won't go out of the house unless Yuli or Lily goes too (that includes going for walks, she will just sit down and not go anywhere). Last night Sissi was whining and I tried to bring her outside to pee, but she would not follow me, just stood in the doorway and watched me. After giving up she peed in the living room when I wasn't watching.

She is scared of doors, any kind of door, even the gate into the garden area. Today's goal is to get her thru the dog door, which will be a big challenge if yesterday was any indicator: she would not go thru even when the flap was held up and great tasting snacks were just on the other side.

She loves towels. Grabs any towel available (bath mats work) and drags them to the dog bed and starts to dethread them.

Loves food, duh. I don't think she even chews, just inhales. Had chicken livers this morning on top of dry food. She is finishing Lily's breakfast right now - Lily tends to leave plenty of dry food, she is a light eater (our only dog with a slim figure). Sissi thinks counter tops are the source of all food and keeps jumping up for a look - our other girls at least wait for our backs to be turned before doing that.

She is an easy puppy to have live with us. So low maintenance compared to when Argo and Yuli were pups. She is still a little restless during this settling in phase, wandering around the house looking for something/someone. Yuli is teaching her the pecking order and off limit areas, and she handles that quite well.

The hardest part is that sometimes she looks exactly like Argo, and we have never seen that in another golden.
